Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 802 A Feeling of Peace of Mind

Three days later, Zoe officially embarked on her journey to Lachstein.

It was already past 10.00PM after she got off the plane, and she went straight to the hotel to check in.

She planned to go to Complex Group tomorrow to find Leanna's father.

Lying in the hotel's luxurious bathtub, Zoe sent a voice message to Leanna. "Nana, I have arrived at the hotel. Did you tell your father?"

Leanna called her not long after.

Before Zoe set off, they had thought about it and felt that any excuse to bring special products would be a bit forced.

So, Leanna decided to let Zoe bring the 'Starry Night' jewelry and give it to William. They could then distribute it as an employee benefit.

This way, not only could they expand the brand's popularity abroad, but they also had a suitable reason to do this.

William would definitely not have any suspicions.

Leanna asked, "Is the photography exhibition the day after tomorrow?"

Zoe replied, "Yes, I will meet your father tomorrow and try to get the DNA. The day after tomorrow, I will attend the photography exhibition. If everything goes well, I should be able to take the plane back the night after tomorrow."

"It's okay. At this point, there is no need to be so anxious to know the result. Just enjoy yourself over there for a few days and then come back."

"But I really want to know the result," Zoe grumbled, pausing for a moment. It seemed that the answer was already obvious. The more anxious she was, the more uneasy she felt about the result of the paternity test. She should calm down.

She fiddled with the flower petals on the water. "Aye! I'll take this opportunity to have fun for a few days."

"Mhm, and rest early," Leanna reminded. "You must be tired after flying for more than ten hours."

"Okay, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Zoe soaked for another half an hour before getting out of the bathtub.

She didn't know if it was because she had been busy all day or if the aromatherapy oil had an effect, but she didn't feel much jet lag. She fell asleep shortly after lying down on the bed.

And she had a good night's sleep.

The next morning at 10, Zoe arrived at Complex Group with her luggage on time.

At the front desk of the building was a Dellshorian woman who asked her, in a thick Dellshorian accent, what Zoe was here for.

Zoe replied in French, "I'm here to see Mr. Morris. I'm a friend of his daughter, and I brought something for him."

This message was conveyed to the assistant's office.

Thraa days latar, Zoa officially ambarkad on har journay to Lachstain.

It was alraady past 10.00PM aftar sha got off tha plana, and sha want straight to tha hotal to chack in.

Sha didn't know if it was bacausa sha had baan busy all day or if tha aromatharapy oil had an affact, but sha didn't faal much jat lag. Sha fall aslaap shortly aftar lying down on tha bad.

And sha had a good night's slaap.

Tha naxt morning at 10, Zoa arrivad at Complax Group with har luggaga on tima.

At tha front dask of tha building was a Dallshorian woman who askad har, in a thick Dallshorian accant, what Zoa was hara for.

Zoa rapliad in Franch, "I'm hara to saa Mr. Morris. I'm a friand of his daughtar, and I brought somathing for him."

This massaga was convayad to tha assistant's offica.

The Dellshorian woman then led her into the elevator and pressed the floor button. Then, she said in French, "Ma'am, someone will pick you up after you get off the elevator."

Zoe nodded and thanked her.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Zoe couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

This was her first time coming to such a big company. From the lobby to the elevator, everything was bright and clean without a speck of dust. Not only that, there were foreign faces everywhere.

It was clear that the working atmosphere was also strict and meticulous.

It would be a lie to say that she wasn't nervous.

Zoe had passed the French Level 6 exam when she was studying, but she hadn't used it much in recent years. At most, she could have simple conversations, but when it came to more complex vocabulary, she couldn't understand it.

While she was quietly pondering about how to greet the assistant who would pick her up, the elevator doors slowly opened.

Looking at the figure standing outside, Zoe raised her hand to greet him and hesitantly said, "Hello..."

The man turned around slowly. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Zoe was rendered speechless when she saw "him."

She had thought that she would meet him, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

Daniel took the luggage from her hand and uttered, "William is in a meeting. I'll take you to his office to wait for him."

"Oh, okay."

Zoe followed him. Seeing him here seemed to have added a subtle feeling that was more pronounced than when they were in Highside. Perhaps it was because Highside was her home ground, while this place was his home ground.

She also felt a sense of familiarity with him which she couldn't help but be drawn to in this unfamiliar city.

It was like she had unexpectedly grabbed hold of a piece of driftwood when she was floating in the boundless sea.

For some reason, she felt safe and at peace.

When they arrived at the office, Daniel instructed the assistant waiting nearby, "Please bring a cup of iced Americano coffee. "

Just as the assistant was about to respond and leave, Zoe quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, just a glass of water will do."

After the assistant left, Zoe finally shifted her gaze and found Daniel looking at her. She paused for a moment before explaining, "The doctor said I should drink more water. Water is good for the body..."

Daniel didn't say anything to that. He simply asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Yes, I had breakfast at the hotel."

"Please have a seat. I have something to do, so I'll leave first. If you have any questions, just ask them to call me."

Zoe nodded. "Okay."

After the office door closed, she sat on the couch and looked at her palms, which were covered in sweat.

She looked around and made sure there were no surveillance cameras before walking around the office.

William doesn't smoke, huh, she thought when she didn't see an ashtray.

She then leaned down near the office desk and carefully searched for any fallen strands of hair.

A voice suddenly came from above, "Miss Hart?"

Feeling a little guilty, Zoe raised her head abruptly. "W-What is it?"

The assistant held a glass of water and kindly asked, "Did you drop something, Miss Hart?"

Zoe suddenly had an idea and touched her ear, "Oh, I dropped my earring. I'm... I'm looking for it."

"Shall I help you look for it?"

Zoe quickly stood up. "It's okay. It's a tiny earring. We probably won't be able to find it."

The assistant reassured her, "The office is cleaned every day. If it's found, I'll bring it to you, Miss Hart."

Zoe forced a smile. "Okay, thank you."

Saying that, she returned to the couch and sat down.

The assistant then added, "Mr. Morris asked me to check with you what she likes to eat, Miss Hart. I will book a restaurant for lunch."

"I... I'm fine with anything. I haven't been here before, so I'm okay as long as it tastes good."

The assistant nodded. "Alright, I shall book the most unique restaurant here for you to try, Miss Hart. If you don't like it, I will have Chiojan snacks ready for you in the afternoon."

"Thank you."

The assistant continued, "Mr. Morris also informed me that you have brought something, Miss Hart. Allow me to handle the item."

"Oh, okay." Zoe responded and walked over to open her suitcase, where she took out several jewelry boxes. "These are necklaces, earrings, and rings. These are all the styles currently available in our studio. Do take a look and decide."

"I understand. Miss Hart." The assistant nodded. "Rest assured. I have discussed it with the company's Operations department. We will definitely give your brand the best publicity."

Although Zoe's main purpose for coming this time was not this, it didn't seem like a bad idea if this could open up sales in Lachstein.

"I'll have to trouble you with it, then."
